Challenge Question #5Donna Wimmer (dwimme@mciunix.mciu.k12.pa.us)Tue, 11 Mar 1997 20:00:18 -0400
Milkweed and wildflower nectar are the monarchs primary source of food. They will be very hungry from their long journey. They also need this food for the poison, to protect them from their predtors. Milkweed is also needed for the females to lay their eggs. The monarchs will also need rest because they use most of their energy during their long flight. Finally they will need warm weather in order to stay alive. Not only will warmer temperatures keep them warm, but it will enable them to fly higher in the sky, away from predators on the ground.
